7500 Sunset East & West

BEYOND THE STATS

KFA is designing two projects on Sunset Bl across Sierra Bonita from each other. The projects have a total of approximately 220 units of housing, including 19 affordable units.

The architecture of the two proejcts is different, but complimentary. The lower three floors reference the surrounding scale and slightly more traditional forms with a regular bay pattern of doors and windows and a stone treatment. The upper two stories depart form this aesthetic to provide a strong contrast to the street wall with a dark colored, possibly metal siding facade with an asymmetrical pattern of windows, doors and balconies set back 15 feet form the lower floors.

The retail frontage, pedestrian experience, exterior spaces and roof decks are very important to the overall design of the buildings.
